Discovery Channel's "The Amazing Race" is coming to Latin America and the producers are putting it to you, the public, to cast your vote and decide what country they will feature in the upcoming season of this popular program.

Mexico could certainly use some positive PR right now and this show has brought millions of dollars in tourism to the countries shown during the series.

Your vote could help to bring some much needed and deserved positive publicity to this country we all enjoy!

So far, Mexico has just 3% of the vote. Let's see if we can swing this around.

Oh, it just suddenly dawned on all mexicans that there was going to be a TARLA, they started a campaign on facebook to outvote colombia and I kept posting in their group saying "Where the hell where you 6 months ago when the voting began?!"

The story so far:In the beginning the Universe was created.This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

But sadly, most latin americans fail to realize that the amazing race has more than one leg

yes, i'm often posting in the forum of discovery channel latinoamerica... and i always say that there will be 13 legs (episodes), and no all the episodes will be filmed in colombia or mexico!!! that people can't understand.... can't wait to see some spoilers here on RFF!!!

(after "Jerry Bruckheimer")The most famous reality show in television's history, awarded 6 consecutive Emmy Awards by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences: The Amazing Race, in Discovery Channel.

Discovery Channel prepares its most ambitious original production project: the Latin American version of this successful format. It's history's most exciting race. 11 teams joined by friendship, love or family bonds; a race where every challenge, no matter how formidable or hard it is, strengthens the solidarity between teammates.

They don't exactly travel in first class, nor they sleep in 5-star hotels. It's a wild quest where the money is scarce, but the adventure is in surplus. Along the race, teams will face 8 elimination legs. Each elimination demands maximum speed. The ones who arrive first get to keep going, and the last ones win a ticket back home.

See them traversing the continent from end to end, going through some of Latin America's most exotic places: from La Pampa to the jungle, from cosmopolitan cities to lost civilizations, without the remotest idea of what their final destination is, what dangers will await them, or how will the trip affect their lives.

A trip where they'll have to overcome countless obstacles which will test their endurance and mental agility. An epic race where team competition and camaraderie are as important as victory itself. And everything for a grand prize of $250,000 USD. The Amazing Race: in Discovery Channel.

The race of their lives begins in September 2009.

I am def expecting this to be running near concurrently with TAR 15, and TARA 4 may well be in the mix too! Fun!!

Without sightings, I wouldn't say it can be confirmed. But it makes sense if they plan to air this in (early? mid?)Sept, should be done filming by no later than mid July, so filming now could certainly be possible.

We need some pictures, all you Latin Americans stay alert and have your cameras ready!

Also, does anyone have any idea who the host will be?

Has anyone heard of any cast applications or interviews??
